Release Notes — v0.13.0

Released: 2026-08-09

WaveRider sheds its holographic output layer. Everything that turned arrays into Looking Glass quilts, HLD video, or POV-Ray scenes now lives in quiltwright, a separate BSD-3 package that WaveRider depends on. This is a boundary correction, not a feature release — plus a Bridge hang that had to be fixed and a lock-file security sweep.

What changed

Holographic output is now quiltwright. waverider.lfd, waverider.hld and waverider.povray moved out wholesale. The split was overdue: none of that code ever imported anything from WaveRider — lfd.py needed only stdlib, numpy and pillow — while three unrelated consumers had accumulated around it. Manifold visualisation, molecular rendering through proteusPy, and a POV-Ray scene archive were all reaching for the same module, and none of them should have to carry the other two as dependencies. Git history for the moved files is preserved in the quiltwright repository, so git log --follow still works there.

waverider.voxel_viz and its CLI are untouched.

stop_quilt() no longer hangs Bridge. The v0.12.0 implementation followed bridge.js's documented stopStudioPlaylist pattern — delete_playlist, then show_window(false). On Looking Glass Bridge 2.6.3 (macOS), delete_playlist reliably hung the process: reproduced twice, once mid-video and once on a single still, each time requiring kill -9 and a Bridge relaunch to recover. stop_quilt() now reaches the same end state — nothing visible, playback halted — using only transport_control_pause and show_window(false), both independently verified safe. Confirmed against a live device: Bridge stayed responsive, the display went blank.

Dependency security sweep. Seventeen packages flagged by OSV.dev were bumped in poetry.lock, including aiohttp, cryptography, pillow, torch and starlette. No pyproject.toml bounds changed, so this is lock-only and does not constrain downstream resolution.

Upgrading

from waverider import render_quilt, QUILT_PRESETS, cast_quilt, ... continues to work unchanged — waverider/__init__ re-exports the full holographic surface from quiltwright.

Direct submodule imports must be repointed:

from waverider.lfd import render_quilt   # no longer resolves
from quiltwright.lfd import render_quilt # use this

The same applies to waverider.hld and waverider.povray. quiltwright>=0.1.0 installs automatically as a WaveRider dependency; nothing extra to add.
